Michiel R. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Great location, fantastic service, comfortable and clean. Unfortunately our main door opened up by itself 3 times during our one night stay. The first time we noticed it was when we came back to the room after dinner and the door was slightly open (we thought we may not have pulled it shut properly. Then later in the night before going to sleep we noticed it was slightly open again and then again when we woke up in the morning.

Dear Michiel, Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed our location, service, and the clean and comfortable room. We’re very sorry about the room door opening by itself multiple times during your stay.

Alber A. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed here for a 2-night family holiday and the experience fell well short of expectations. The property was under active renovation, with construction materials, dust, and unfinished areas visible throughout common areas from arrival. Check-in was delayed nearly 2 hours past the standard time. Once in the room, the sofa bed had a very thin mattress with springs clearly felt through it, making it uncomfortable to sleep on — it was swapped for single beds the next day after we raised it. The most concerning issue was the pool. Management later claimed the pool itself was "under construction" — yet there was no signage anywhere on the property saying so, nothing on the property's public listing, and staff at reception gave us a pool access card without any mention of restriction or hazard when we asked. If the pool genuinely was under construction, staff clearly weren't informed either — which is worse, not better. On top of this, the pool ladder had rubber padding secured with zip ties, with the sharp cut ends of the ties left exposed underneath the steps — a real injury risk to anyone using it, especially children. Breakfast service was also inconsistent — unlabeled dishes, some items tasting off, and repeated delays getting our table cleared. Individual issues were eventually addressed once raised, but by then a two-night family holiday had already turned into two days of managing problems instead of enjoying time together. Disappointing stay, and I wouldn't return to this property.

Dear Alber, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re very sorry that your family stay was affected by the construction works, delayed check-in, uncomfortable sofa bed, pool concerns and inconsistent breakfast service. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams for review. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind regards, The Team at Novotel Geelong

Mahmoud F. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Over all it was good experience but having an empty shower gel container was not expected. The shower gel came once i requested but asking for the empty container was not a nice thing. I gave it to the room service staff but he could have collected it after we left.

Dear Mahmoud, Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed the location and view. We’re sorry about the empty shower gel container and the way this was handled when you requested a replacement. We also understand your concern about the value during the construction period. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant team for review. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind regards, The Team at Novotel Geelong

Loved the room and the bed was comfy. We stayed two nights and I didn't love only 2 mugs to use for my morning coffee, a couple of smaller nice tea cups would've been really useful and a nice touch. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall it was a lovely place to stay.

Margaret G. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

Good #1: Jojo was very helpful when I needed a document printed, signed and scanned. She is definitely a keeper. Good #2: Staff in the restaurant were excellent. Every time. Not So Good #1: The mattress in my room was much softer than what I was used to. I asked to be moved to a room with a firmer mattress, I was told that all the mattresses were the same but that the very soft mattress cover could be removed, which I agreed too. Never happened even though I followed up over a number of days with staff at the front desk. As a result I had serious lower back pin while staying at the hotel and for a couple of days after. Not So Good #2: when my room (#314) was serviced, the door was not secured. When I came back to my room that evening, I could open the door just by pushing it open with my hand. The lights were all on, the bins had been emptied and someone had made a rather half hearted attempt to make the bed. A friend stayed with me while I made sure no one was actually in my room. Let the front desk know when I went back downstairs. Didn’t get my room services again for the rest of my stay.

Well located, comfortable stay. Lovely, accomodating staff. However, the constant construction noise was terrible and was a terrible wake-up call. This also made working from the venue quite challenging. Additionally, the pool was covered in construction dust and while I would have loved a swim, and the pool was not closed, the thought of swimming in a pool covered in dust was not appealing.

Dear Cassandra D. L., Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed our location, comfortable stay and accommodating team. We’re very sorry that the ongoing construction noise disrupted your sleep and made working from the hotel difficult. We also apologise for the construction dust around the pool, which understandably affected your enjoyment of the facility. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant team for review. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind regards, The Team at Novotel Geelong
